The father of Sony PS refutes meta-universe related to Microsoft's acquisition of Activision Blizzard?

According to the U.S. Stock Research Agency, according to Zhitong Finance, Ken Kumakuma, the founder of Sony's video game business and the father of PlayStation, expressed disapproval of the metaverse in an interview, saying that it divided the real and virtual realms, rather than unifying the two. Ken Kumara pointed out: "Being in the real world is very important, but the metacosm is about achieving quasi-reality in the virtual world, and I don't see the point of doing so. Would you rather be a shiny avatar than your true self? This is essentially no different from an anonymous message board website. ”

On the evening of January 18, Microsoft acquired Activision Blizzard for $68.7 billion, making it clear that it would use it to lay out the meta-universe. Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella excitedly said: "Games are the most dynamic and exciting category of entertainment of all platforms today and will play a key role in the development of metaverse platforms. We're investing heavily in world-class content, communities, and the cloud to usher in a new era of gaming that puts players and creators first, making games safe, inclusive, and accessible to all. According to Microsoft Game CEO Phil Spencer, Activision Blizzard's games will land on Microsoft's XBOX platform and are expected to interact with the metaverse concept.

Therefore, the console war between XBOX and Sony PlayStation may enter a new stage. After Microsoft's acquisition of Activision Blizzard, Sony's stock price plummeted 10%.
